Pros

There are a lot of great people that work there. They strive for a culture of openness and honestly. They take great pride in their products (and the products are actually pretty amazing).

Cons

There is a general lack of empathy for the employees. I fully understand that letting people go is sometimes part of business. Letting a bunch of people go 2 weeks before Christmas seems a bit cruel. Their policy for laying people off borders on hostile. You are pulled from your desk in the middle of the day, told that they are laying you off, then told that you can't empty out your desk. Apparently you can come back at a later time if you want any of your stuff. This all seems like a really unnecessary way to treat employees that poured their heart and soul into their work.

Pros

Supportive and transparent leadership team that encourages ownership and accountability. The company values cross-functional collaboration and gives leaders the trust and space to drive real change. Strong culture, clear mission, and respect for diverse perspectives, especially across global operations. Opportunities to grow professionally, influence strategy, and work closely with passionate, capable teammates.

Cons

Our quality data is still on excel which can't be utilized by AI tool. The team can't get warming ahead of time from the risk of stacked tolerance. This is just one of the examples to show there are tons of opportunities ahead of us. In order to catch these opportunities, we will need to business intelligence mindset especially from leadership team. Meanwhile processes are still evolving in some areas and require patience while systems and structure continue to mature.
